Youtube daily report Dec 3 2017

how can how can I be a gift to you at this point you're a gift to me so thank

you my girlfriend just broke up with me things just are not going well I've been

really mentally in a bad place and you know that it's been rough I mean I don't

sit here complained yeah well the funny thing is when you're saying these things

to me you seem pretty like at peace you almost you almost seem fresher than I if

I would say I've seen you in the past like you seem pretty at ease and I would

almost say it looks like the OP but you look like the opposite of what you're

telling me right now I do feel pretty good it's been a rollercoaster you know

obviously the second time what's happened okay how long have y'all been

you know I feel like if I was a better stronger man with more to offer it

wouldn't happen so this is a girl that you've been dating and she broke up this

the second time she's broken up with you like how long have you all been together

for about a year about a year okay cool why do you think she broke up with you

you know I'll tell you it's because I'm not confident I'm very insecure lately

you know I don't have a lot of money to I think that's a big thing but I can't

really express myself the way I take care of people a little bit better and

help people out express my love a little bit fuller you know okay so you said

that she would say that your controlling possessive and me

and you insist jealous and you would say that you think it's more that a little

insecure what was the very first thing you said you said something before

insecure well whatever your have gone through or whatever this experience is

doing for you I would say it looks pretty good on you I want to reiterate

that like the way you're expressing yourself seems more at ease and peace

than I've ever heard before however I will admit I do not like the way I do

not like the words you're choosing to describe your scenario but I do like how

your you are expressing it your tone the clarity so I'm wondering if there's a

refining a mental refinement going on and that this situation with the Union

girlfriend is serving you and getting more clear and I may have talked to you

about this before but it really seems as growth takes place in three steps like

awareness acceptance and action and your awareness and your acceptance of what

could be the issue on both sides of the coin is pretty profound now the action

it's time to take action it's time to like actually they almost sounded

similar like you said you think you're insecure she thinks you're possessive

those are caused by each other yes so your insecurity is probably what's

causing you to come off from her perspective as possessive I will say

this like for in this for that and I know you named many different things are

going on but in the sense of like possessiveness or jealousy I think it's

very important and like any animal any animal will teach us this any base

she'll teach that she's taught this to me multiple times like when I'm really

needy or I like want to grab her she doesn't seem nearly as interested is

when I'm like I'm here for you versus I'm here for you there was a different

thing there's a difference between I need you and I'm here for you and I'm

here for her she seems to be like hey dad but if I'm

like looking for her I'm like I want to play with you or I need you she seems to

be more like dismissive of me so I'm wondering whether it's this

girlfriend or a future girl that you're dating well first of all do you want to

date in the other women or do you want to get back to with the girl that so I

would really forget her then really it's this is the crazy thing about the word

forgetting this has been something that's been going through my mind lately

forgetting forgetting something forget it so if it's money that you think if

you think money is gonna be what gives you more confidence and open your

capacity to love forget it just forget about that because that's

probably it's probably not true it may be once you open your capacity to love

and the regardless has money then that might be when you become more of a

magnet for money so forget thinking that you need money to be a better lover in

anyway if you want to get back with your ex-girlfriend forget it and you I think

you really have I think you really get to forget her and when that and when you

really embody that vibration then she'll feel that she'll feel that rather you're

with her physically or not and she can then decide with her heart truly desires

but if you are this the attachment the possessiveness the insecurity the

jealousy the whatever I don't know if there's any specific situations you want

to talk about we're about half way over six and a half minutes in but I think

it's time for you forget it and do what your hearts call him even do like

realize that this is this is your moment this is your chance this is your

opportunity to be the best lover you possibly can and if you think your

ability to be a better lover is contingent upon things outside of you

like money then that's your issue you gotta forget the money so you can get

real with yourself

yeah this actually makes a lot of sense it seems like last time we broke up she

came back to me when I stopped talking her and I actually it's been about over

24 hours now since I just said you know what I can't I can't be any I can't be

friends or you you know I can't be anything but your romantic partner so

I'm just cutting it off again you know if it was up to her I'm sure we'd be

chatting all day and maybe I don't know you know it's just

and I I I like that honestly the I I know some people think that's like mean

or something but I I really like the idea that you um not being friends with

her I don't think we have to be friends with our ex-girlfriend I've never was

interested in being friends with my girlfriends if that mean like friends in

the sense that there's no chemistry there's no tension or there's no I think

the three C's to like a strong connection or chemistry compatibility

and communication and chemistry being the most important for a long-term

relationship to last so if I'm like for my trust forever you to say if you

decide to marry someone that the chemistry is what's guiding your way and

then the compatibility and the communication or what will keep that

crazy chemistry balanced like I'm talking like the chemistry I think

there's a strong enough chemistry where you are refusing to be your friend her

friends that's it sounds like you really you really like her you really are into

her okay so you really love her and I and I I just want to honor you that

you're able to express that to her and to me that that level of integrity so

rather than letting being nice or a peacekeeper you're being a peacemaker

for yourself in the sense that you know for you to be at peace and you're going

to be in your ex-girlfriends presence you want to be there together

romantically and if that's not what it is then you're not interested in and

torturing your heart in a way to be to look nice towards our different times in

the relationship she would be more affection

and more you know like into me more respectful to me than other times you

know and those times where she was a little distant or and it could have been

simple as she just needs a space or I don't know you know it was like that's

when I would start to be like okay like

and I want you to let go also of being weak that's not a sign of weakness like

your vulnerability is not a sign of weakness it's a sign of strength now if

you start letting your vulnerability get taken over by possessiveness that might

be more on the category of weakness but you having that feeling that's not you

being weak now when I will say the last minute here who think of what your

whining but I'm talking about the polarity the chemistry between y'all -

she sounds like a very hyper feminine woman and what I mean by that is like

let's look at the ocean i surf I think like surfing is one of the most massive

sailing or a captain of a ship is one of the most masculine roles someone can

take because they're literally immersing themselves in the ocean of emotion that

is always changing it's deep beyond our understanding no one knows how deep the

ocean is and it's always changing every day there's a tide there's in the tide

gets higher and lower every day it always changes the wind changes the

waves the the weather can change the waves it's highly changing and instead

of getting frustrated when the tide is really low or the winds are it's really

sloppy or choppy ocean a good surfer is not the one the only surfs and

conditions that are good it's like who can have a good start for my opinion is

the one that kind of the most fun and the most variety of conditions so even

if it's if it's messy and dirty and the waters murky and it's crazy can I still

go out surfing if I want to and have a good time in the ocean and then I and

then still be ready when it turns on and the waves are perfect then they're

beautiful and they just are like calling to me they're like diamonds can I be

there for both ways and I think that is someone someone that can be hold the

space for the feminine ocean to go back and forth and be full and empty in

sideways and left and right make no sense that's holding a very

masculine energy and I think you holding that masculine energy and her holding

that very going with the flow of her emotions and her life is a very feminine

energy and I bet that's when yells chemistry is a strongest so it sounds

like instead of being scared or turned off by her withdrawal by the tide coming

in this really I realize that's what's keeping your chemistry that's what's

keeping you all connected as much of a humble pie as that yeah yeah oh yeah you

the moment someone goes out there surfing they try to control the ocean

that's dangerous that's very dangerous the person that can surrender like when

the wave really overcomes them and they surrender it's easier to find the bottom

so they know which way is up if someone fights it and they're running out of

oxygen wasting their oxygen fighting something that's pretty impossible to

fight sometimes and then they they can even fight themselves into not knowing

they might not hit the bottom on the wave and they all know which way is up

or which way is down and it's just like that resistance is not the masculine

energy that'll get people to serve the best waves and have the best connections

with their girlfriends

OBS Studio 139 - LUTs - What are LUTs? How to use LUTs in OBS Studio - OBS Walkthrough & Guide - Duration: 4:10.

In the last video, I showed you some ways you can use VST plugins in OBS Studio to process

and improve your audio.

Today I'm showing you a similar ability, but applied to your facecam or other video

footage, through the use of LUTs or "Look Up Tables."

This is actually pretty cool, let's take a look.

TunnelBear is the fast and easy VPN service that keeps your data safe and secure, behind

a bear.

Sign up for your 7-day free trial and learn more via the link in the video description.

I'm EposVox, here to make tech easier and more fun, and welcome back to my OBS Studio

tutorial course.

I have many, many more videos on the software in the playlist linked in the description.

Check that before asking questions, and check the introduction video to learn how this course

works, if you get confused.

Color Look Up Tables are used to take an image and adjust its color information based on

the values in the Look Up Table.

Applied to OBS, it will basically apply some cool color filtering to your webcam.

Linked in the video description, I have a specific webcam LUT included for download,

as well as a website that offers a few for free.

Try them out and see if you like them.

OBS Studio also includes some sample LUTs in the install directory under "obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\obs-filters\LUTS\".

These are .PNG files.

The "Posterize" LUT applies a kind of comic book like effect.

Black and White is, well, obvious.

"Red Isolated" only shows shades of red, turning everything else black and white.

"Teal Lows Orange Highs" applies the cliche "cinema" effect of blue-ish shadows and

orange-ish highlights.

Kind of a neat look.

The one I included in the description does a similar effect, but retains more of the

original coloring, too.

What's neat is that you can easily make your own.

The "Original.png" included with OBS is a default LUT.

Apply your color correction presets to this PNG via your favorite photo editor and be

sure to save it as a new file so you can make new ones later, and apply it to your webcam.

What about the other ones I linked in the description?

The freebies - and most LUTs you download - come zipped up as a .CUBE file.

OBS won't accept that.

You will need to use a program like Adobe Photoshop to apply it to a copy of the "original.png"

file.

Copy your desired .cube, .3DL, or .look files into the appropriate preset directory for

Photoshop.

For me that is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Presets\3DLUTs".

Re-launch Photoshop if you had it opened, and drag a copy of "original.PNG" into

it.

Now go to "Image" - "Adjustments" - and "Color Lookup."

Here, click the drop-down menu next to 3DLUT file and choose the file you copied over.

For whatever reason it won't let me browse for other LUTs outside of that folder, which

is why you need to copy it.

Click OK and watch as the image file changes.

Now save this as the name of the lut dot PNG.

For example for me this will be "Aspen.png".

Now you can use it in OBS and apply to your webcam or gameplay!

This can be great for basic things such as adjusting contrast and saturation, or applying

crazy effects to your footage.

You can also apply multiple LUTs to one source.

It just… will get messy as you lather on the effects.

Do you have a favorite LUT?

Inktober Flipthrough 2017 - Duration: 12:19.

Hello, internet.

Today I am going to be doing a flipthrough of all the drawings.

I made during Inktober.

First I'd like to apologize for the fact that this video is literally being uploaded a month

late.

I'm sorry.

I wanted this to be uploaded sooner, but it had a lot of complications.

So again, sorry.

Next I'd like to show you a few of the supplies I used during Inktober.

The ones that I used the most were probably these microns.

They were very helpful to get precise lines.

The next things that I'd like to pull out would be these Gellyrolls.

I probably used these in every single drawing.

They were great for making things more interesting.

I'd also like to point out the fact that I used this.

It sucked.

I used it on one drawing.

I also used a brush pen.

I got it in Japan, so.. the name of it is written in Japanese Kanji.

I can't read Japanese Kanji, so I can't tell you what pen this is.

If you can read this then that's pretty cool.

This is a nice brush pen.

I also used some dip pens!

I got these specifically for Inktober.

I've never used them before, but they're pretty cool.

These are the nibs and then I used some Bombay Black India Ink.

It was..

I don't have anything to compare it to, so I can't tell you how good the quality of ink

this is.

It worked for me.

The last thing I'd like to mention would be these Ohuhu markers.

They were great for adding color.

I love these so much.

I actually killed my greys.

I mean, they still kind of work, but it's pathetic.

Okay, let's get into the magic.

Not really magic.

Anyways, this is the first one.

I drew a little fox running.

The theme was swift.

I used a dip pen for the very first time and I also used my brush pen to fill in the black

area and some black microns to do little details that I knew I couldn't do with my brush pen.

Not my brush pen, I mean my dip pen.

This one I was a little rushed on, but I think it turned out relatively well in the end.

This one I like quite a bit.

I like the fact that I put little skulls in her eyes to symbolize that she's dead or dying,

because she just drank some poison.

How exciting!

This one is of uh..

I don't actually know what this is of.

The theme was underwater, I think.

Yeah, it says right there, underwater.

I used inkwash for the first time.

Yeah, that was cool.

Here I discovered that my brush pen smudges when you put wet mediums over it, but I think

I had better control of the inkwash.

You can kind of tell there's some experience there.

This one I dropped a bottle of ink on!

So sad.

Well, not like the whole bottle, just like a little driplet of ink went on it and it

was so sad.

I fixed it.

You can't tell where it is.

Try and figure out where it is.

You can't!

Ha!

This one I kind of was rushed on.

It's not terrible, but it's not the best.

This one is of the Crooked Man from the Wolf Among Us.

I really like that video game and I was watching a play through of it.

I decided to draw this dude.

I really don't like him, but he looks pretty cool, like he has a really interesting face.

This one was of a screech owl.

I like this quite a bit.

I like the composition and the anatomy of the owl and then all the texture.

There's like a bunch of dots and stuff.

This one is of a giant robot and he's holding some balloons.

How cute.

He's just hovering over this giant city.

He's like so much bigger.

Anyways, this one is of a dude.

I'd like to think that these are his demons and he's running away from them.

This one, the theme was shattered, so I kind of drew her face looking all shattered.

I like the way that I shaded.

I did some hatching, but I did like a line and put the hatching inside of the area that

I sectioned off.

I kind of like the way that looks.

I don't normally do that, so this was like an experiment.

This one I made a YouTube video of, as well as the first drawing in Inktober.

I don't really like it that much, but it still was a video.

I like this one.

I don't normally do expressions or at least extreme expressions.

I think I did pretty good.

It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I still like the general look of it.

This one was kind of rushed.

I feel like I could of done better, but it's not that bad.

Oh, I like this one so much!

I was using my brush pen, but this time I realized I could like not, I didn't have to

touch the ink.

I went very close to edge, but I didn't touch it.

It was pretty great.

I like this.

I like the aesthetic.

This one is interesting.

I mean, I don't really like it.

The hand is kind of derpy.

I was rushing and her face is just eh.

It's not that bad for being rushed, but it's not the best.

Oh.

Ooh.

This is good art.

Oooh, let's just not look at that.

Okay, I like this one.

It's pretty cool.

I put a lot of detail around

the eyes.

I don't

know if you

can tell.

The picture on Instagram shows a lot more detail.

I like the way that this looks.

This one I did like real quick.

It probably took me thirty minutes at most.

I still like it.

This is one of my favorite rushed drawings.

I just like the composition and stuff.

Ooh!

I'm sad.

Tyler and Josh won't come back from their hiatus soon enough.

I am just crying, so I did a picture of Blurry Face.

Just to commemorate the fact that they are still not here.

For this one, the theme was trail, so I did some pumpkins along a trail.

There are some trees and stuff.

I was rushing, so again I don't like how this one turned out.

That is how it always seems to go when I rush.

It doesn't look that great.

Oh god.

Um..

I can't explain this one.

I don't know what was happening, but the theme was juicy and this is what came to mind.

I don't know.

I think we need to move on.

I can't explain this one either.

I like it.

I mean, it looks pretty cool.

It's got some cool texture and stuff.

It's not that bad and it wasn't that rushed either, so you'd hope it wouldn't be that

bad.

This one was a really strange idea.

I was thinking of like a wife saying 'goodbye' to her husband.

He's, like, in the Navy.

The theme was ship, so I drew a ship in her eyes and she's crying.

I don't know.

This one, uh, I can't explain.

I was rushing and it was late at night, so this

is

what you get.

This was I was also rushing on, but I think it looks

better than that one.

I'm pretty sure you can tell that it's a common theme for me to be rushing on these drawings.

This is of some leaves.

A lot of people on Instagram liked this one, but I don't like it that much.

I mean, it's okay.

It's not terrible, but it's not the most interesting thing in the world.

The theme for this day was united and I had no idea what to do, so I started looking up

what other people did.

Some people did Garnet and I was like "Ooh, ohh, yes please."

So I drew Garnet from Steven Universe.

This was day thirty.

I think the theme was found..

Yeah, the theme was found.

Can you see that?

Not quite sure what I was doing.

I used the brush pen and now that I knew the ink would smudge and smear and stuff, I kind

of used that to my advantage.

I used the inkwash and just kind of blended it with the brush pen.

I think it has a nice effect.

I might use it in the future.

Sadly that's all of the drawings that I have for Inktober.

I don't have the thirty first drawing on me, but I did do it.

I'll just quickly put a picture right here.

Okay, well, I guess that about wraps up this video.

Thank you so much for watching and I guess I'll see you later.

Bye!

Not only did it mark the return of Naoki Tate, the animator and supervisor who last blew

us all away in the second half of the special, really giving Ultra Instinct's debut some

unique and memorable movement, it also brought about the return of Masato Mistuka, the director

of the aforementioned episode, and one of Super's absolute best.

An animator capable of conveying great impact, and a director capable of bringing it all

together.

Two universes that we've had characterisation for being erased.

On paper, this should be the perfect episode.

And… it's not.

It's very much an episode of two halves, but it's certainly up there as one of the

strongest episodes of this tournament anyway.

So let's jump in with that first half, which is undeniably the weaker of the two.

It comes from Toei Animation Philippines – Joey Calangian and Noel Ano-Nuevo being the two

supervisors, here.

Their presence is honestly pretty minimal.

While you can spot them in some close-ups throughout a few scenes, the chief animation

supervisor, Miyako Tsuji, has pretty much put her entire focus on this first half.

The vast majority of scenes here feature her redraws, and I'm actually pretty happy with

her work here.

I've mentioned across a few recent videos that Tsuji's style has started devolving

a little after such a strong output in the Future Trunks arc.

This episode definitely feels like a pretty reasonable return to form.

Some of the shots of Goku look absolutely gorgeous.

They look like they're drawn with real confidence, and the shading definitely backs it up.

It's a stark contrast to her rather rough output only a few episodes ago.

This tournament's certainly tough on the chief supervisors, so I can't complain too

much, but with Ide really strutting his stuff, it'd be nice to have both of them at a consistent

level.

The major sequences in this first half are actually the ones that let it down the most.

This half is packed with reused or repurposed animation, to the point that it was actually

really distracting.

I honestly haven't been this pulled out of an episode by reused scenes since the first

two episodes of this tournament.

You've got a tonne of cuts from episode 103.

Tate's Gohan vs Obuni was reused with him redrawing Obuni as Saonel.

Piccolo's Hellzone grenade was repurposed.

Higashide's #18 cut from episode 99 is recycled.

Miuma's work in episode 112 was reused and touched up by Tate.

Huge chunks of Mitsuka's storyboard from 102 were thrown in, too.

They also went all the way back to episode 88, and reused Piccolo's training scene

with Gohan.

The only new scene that really stood out to me was the scuffle scene between Piccolo and

Pirina.

I really liked the extreme smears on the impacts, and of course, that shading is gorgeous.

Not sure who pulled that off, but they did a great job.

As far as reused scenes go, it's a little depressing to have so much recycled content

on an episode that's of great importance like this.

I can certainly forgive the parallels to episode 102 since that works as part of the magical

BOYS gag, but the action scenes were just too much.

It's a bit of a lose-lose situation – the alternative are some presumably poor scenes

from Toei Animation Philippines, so this is certainly better than nothing, but with many

of these cuts coming from episodes in the past few weeks, it's hard to push them out

of your mind.

As much as I'm harking on about this, I have to say, I'm not that upset.

In the grand scheme of not only the episode, but this tournament as a whole, it's a pretty

minor setback that I appreciate occurs to allow this tournament to even exist at the

quality it does right now.

Since Dragon Ball Super's special, the series has been on a real roll as far as its production

goes.

It's looking incredibly good for a weekly battle shonen – far beyond my expectations.

Not only was the special pretty remarkable, but episode 112 allowed for Miuma to produce

scenes with his gorgeous effects on full display, episode 113 showed us that Tu Yong-ce is great

when it comes to scenes that require powerful imagery, 114 gave us Takahashi whose work

doesn't even need a description.

116 reminded us that Higashide is one of the best, and we got a great surprise from Ken

Otsuka.

117 should have been a nothing Yashima episode, but Ryo Onishi appeared and gave us an amazing

farewell to Ribrianne.

The series is on fire right now.

And as we move into the second half of this episode, that streak continues in full force.

The half begins with a lovely scene from Osamu Ishikawa, where Nail and God appear before

Piccolo.

Ishikawa's a great artist so there are no complaints there.

The real strength of the scene is in Mitsuka's storyboard and direction.

This is such a lovely way of honouring the series' lore, and the role reversal of Piccolo

stepping in front of Gohan back in the Saiyan arc is really powerful way of finishing up

the master/pupil plotline that's been running through this arc.

This follows up with the first of Tate's contributions in this episode, and holy hell,

is it powerful.

Gohan's punch on to Saonel carries so much weight.

I really love how his head turns into a smear on the impact.

As they fly up into the air, the seamless transition into the rotation as Pirina joins

the fight is seriously impressive.

Major props go to Tate and Mitsuka for the storyboard and layout here.

Saonel joining back into the fight once again hammers home something I've been pointing

out for weeks.

Characters moving in and out of fights within a single cut is the best way of showcasing

the format of this tournament.

Following this scene, we head over to Tu Yong-ce and Osamu Ishikawa ping-ponging cuts back

and forth between one another.

Ishikawa handles many of the stills as Goku defends himself from one of the magical boys

– and yes, I'm sticking with that name.

As the action kicks in, Tu takes over, and much like the last scene, it features multiple

characters bouncing in and out of the frame.

Tu's contributions continue as the magical boys begin to create the black heart and 17

blocks it with his barrier.

Once again, you can see the same lightning effects that he's become quite fond of over

the past few months.

Like the last time they appeared, they match the first time they really stood out in the

Super Saiyan 3 scene in 113.

The black heart itself pinging around comes from Naoki Tate.

It's so nicely done.

I really love morphing effects animation like that.

It offers so much freedom when it comes to squash and stretch.

The next big scene is of course the series of Kamehamehas, and unfortunately for me,

this is where it gets very confusing as far as identifying animators go.

I asked Tu Yong-ce exactly what he did on episode, and aside from the stuff I mentioned,

which he clarified very specifically, he vaguely said he did "the bit before Tate's part".

Considering the bits before Tate's other parts are from Ishikawa, the only thing left

over is Goku's Kamehameha, which comes before what looks to be Tate's Gohan scene.

Either way, it looks absolutely fantastic.

I love how creative the storyboard is here.

Saonel reaching around the beam and coming through with one hell of an expression is

amazing.

Especially as the camera then seamlessly pans up from Gohan and onto Piccolo.

That's such incredible camera work.

Again, Mitsuka is just a phenomenal director.

That essentially wraps up this action.

You can find Ishikawa towards the end, and again, in amongst some other styles throughout

the episode that are likely from the few other animators on board here.

This was a pretty small staff list as far as in-house Toei goes, which would explain

the reused animation and heavy reliance on Toei Animation Philippines here.

Before we wrap things up, I have to once again point out the background art here.

Bun-sun Lee is far and away Super's strongest art director.

The detail in his backgrounds is outstanding and the choice of colours do such a good job

of creating atmosphere.

I pointed this out in the contrast between Takahashi's episode and one that followed

it – 114 and 115- and once again, you can see it here compared to the episode before.

There's depth to the imagery, and again, that atmosphere is just night and day – almost

literally.

It's nice to see all of Super's best come together for single episodes.

On the whole this episode really did just about live up to my expectations.

Like I said, no, it certainly wasn't as perfect as it sounded on paper, but as far

as delivering a great looking fight and actually making me feel something as two universes

were erased, it certainly did its job.

Next week is half outsourced once again, this time to Tsutomo Ono and his team.

We're seeing the return of Yasuhiro Namatame, who we last saw in episode 111.

I wasn't hugely impressed by his last efforts and the NEP doesn't exactly fill me with

hope, but I'm cautiously optimistic all the same.

Ono's team is certainly capable of producing good work, and with regards to Toei's team,

we haven't seen Kenji Miuma for a while!

Lots of potential there.

But that's it for this week.

Unless there's some groundbreaking revelations in the upcoming issue of Animage, it seems

the return of Yuya Takahashi will be the big episode to look forward to in the next month's

worth of episodes.

For all the details on that, be sure to check out the video all about that that I released

this morning.

Let me know how you enjoyed this episode!

Did it live up to your expectations, were the universes erasures handled as you liked,

and what are your hopes for next week?
